Half Price Books

Love, love, love this place! Better then any library. They have paperbacks, hardbacks, and books on tapes! There is a bigger store on north west highway, however, this place is best when you want to avoid a drive.
You can grab cd’s and actual albums. Some are dated from the early 1960’s. That’s so cool that music on vinyl has survived so long. Prices vary.
If you like books that can be off the beaten path and still enjoy turning pages of a book then your home! Books allow you to use your imagination. What an awesome discovery for new people joining the book world! I will be back!

Had a rude encounter with a male employee. Even before this I called and heard a click with no noise, almost as if the phone had been picked up and hung up. I called again to ask around how long it takes for them to sort through books if we bring them up. He responded dramatically by saying «it literally changes every 5 minutes so there is no way for me to give you a time» which I get, ok yeah they get a lot of books but there has to be a range of time? That’s all I’m looking for. So I said, «ok well can you give me a reference for what it looks like right now– a few minutes– an hour– the whole day?» and he said, «no because then I would be lying.» Wow. Can you say dramatic much? It makes me so upset, I just wanted to speak to a friendly worker who could give me a range and if I drove up there and it changes from 15 minutes to an hour who cares! I can entertain myself.
But for this employee to say «I literally have no idea because then I would be lying.» No sir. That is rude. And dramatic. And you can’t sit there and tell me you have no idea because I’d bet it doesn’t take the store a week or a month to sort through a set of books that one person brings in– so in fact you can give me a range. Even if he said 10 minutes to five hours! Cool! Then I’ll drop them off and go somewhere until they call me back.
Rude, rude, rude. That’s all I have to say about this male employee. Half priced books needs to give there employees a lesson on manners.

Absolutely great place to hang out, bring kids and find great deals. I get a lot of sociology books here and find a lot of great deals on books I see elsewhere for much more. The sales associates try to be helpful but most of the time they are incorrect. I’ve been told on two occasions they didn’t have a book, only to find them both in the store upon looking in different sections. I wish their system was better. Today I asked for Joe Landsdale’s book The Bottoms and the guy said they didn’t have it, but could get it transferred. Right past the checkout was a huge display with the book on there!
Other than that, I freaking love this place. It’s far better for finding cool books than overpriced Barnes & Noble.

Always a good selection of stuff here and some surprises more often than not. The staff is always friendly and helpful. And be sure to sign up for their email list for deals, coupons, and upcoming book signings.

In the deprived life I live today, there are only two bookstores I can reach on my bicycle. This is one of them.
The good side:
It’s a bookstore! I can bicycle there! I don’t have to order from Amazon!
The downside:
I’m largely a genre reader. In recent years, this has meant, in order, science fiction and fantasy; mystery; paranormal romance. (Yes, I’m male, hup hup, flex my biceps. I can get paranormal romance on the fantasy aspect, and I don’t mind the romance side of it, so long as it isn’t too sappy, and the paranormal side is well throught through. Also, as someone who grew up when women were virtually absent from sf/​f, I’m delighted that there are whole subgenres that are devoted to them.)
But yeah, Texas is not occupied by sf/​f sophisticates, so a slew of boring military fiction here.
I miss living somewhere with an adequate sf/​f specialist that can curate new releases for me (when I get to SF, I drop $ 100 plus on books at Borderlands).
But hey. Some bookstore is better than none. And you can’t complain about the pricing.

Half-​Price is a buyer’s market and I mainly go there to sell. I’ve been selling to Half-​Price for the last 8 years and while I don’t expect to get a lot of cash back, I like that my old items find new use with someone else. If you’re looking to sell items, maybe go somewhere else first for the specialty items and bring your leftovers here. Personally, that’s my new game plan after selling to Recycled Books, Records, CDs in Denton for the first time and making a LOT more for fewer items that they handpicked from my boxes. You might have to ask for your 10% off coupon when you cash in your selling receipt at the register. They forgot to give me one and I forgot to ask for it. D’oh!

I have always had a good experience with this store staff. They are always friendly and helpful trying to find books I am looking for. They are knowledgable and well stocked. Prices are amazingly affordable

Always a pleasant time visiting Half-​Price. Friendly employees, and they now hand out 10% discounts when you sell them books.
I wish I got more cash for my books, but it’s really now a count against them.

Small store but wonderful selection! The employees are friendly and helpful, and I’m always able to find something I can’t wait to read. Also love their prices, and the location of this store.

always able to find new books… rarely ones required by school or exactly what I came looking for — but for the price — I can wait! Staff is friendly, and so are the customers. They often help me find something new for the kids to try too.

I cannot be trusted in this place with a credit card! I can ALWAYS find a stack of books to take home with me.

Its great to have a half priced books nearby. We frequent it pretty often. I love going in a just looking at the books and trying to find my next read. My boys love it as much as I do.

Found some good deals in here… smaller store but still packs lots of books, no seating so be prepared for your bum to hit the floor, they have records here and other trinkets as well, friendly staff, you will more than likely leave with something to read… I’ll be back.
Note to store: find a way to squeeze in a a few seats and we are golden.

This is a great option to buy books if you are an avid reader. I buy several books at a time a couple times a month. I don’t sell back to them though. I probably need to!

I love Half Price Books. Went to this location for the first time today and was not disappointed; tons of books to browse, well organized, priced well, staff was upbeat/​friendly. I left 3 hours later with quite a new collection :)
Records here are generally not cheap, but I only go for the books. They are often used and you can find some with underlining and others with tons of notes so flip through the book before buying but totally worth the trip!

I can spend hours here… you save tons of money buying books from here. The only thing I would say negative is if you are looking for a specific book it may or may not be here. But, given the deals and the savings it doesn’t matter. I just love to come here and browse and pick up some new reads.

Been going here for years. I’ve been selling to this store since they opened, and I’ve noticed they don’t pay a lot for CD’s or VHS anymore, who could blame them? Who buys them anymore. :)
I really love the record section, and the nostalgia collection. I built an entire vintage Nancy Drew collection from books at this store.
I also love the vintage posters, nick-​nacks, coffee mugs, and bookmarks they sell. Really cute, and you can’t find them anywhere else.
This store is not as big as the Dallas, Plano, Richardson, or Frisco location, but you will still find neat stuff if you take the time to browse.
The staff is friendly, and the store is clean. Sometimes they only have one cashier when there is a long line. Besides that, this is a location worth going to.

I’ve been shopping at Half Priced Books for years but I won’t be coming back to this one until they make it user-​friendly for the handicapped. I have recently been required to use a wheelchair to get around. And after having a very difficult time getting around in this store, with the narrow isles and book carts blocking several of them, I didn’t feel very welcome in there.

I really really love Half Price Books. I can’t express enough how excited I am to troll through their aisles and find books that I had been too cheap to buy when they were new and be satisfied knowing that I’ll be busy with them for the next week or two.
Not as big as the mega-​HPB in Dallas but totally worth a stop. You’ll be surprised what you can find!

@halfpricebooks is my favorite place to hang out. This HPB is closest to my house and I love to come in and search for the newest deal. I’m a teacher and my students love it when I visit HPB because I find some great books for $ 1 in the clearance section. I also love to buy the $ 1 clearance records… that’s right… records! I have a record player in my classroom and torture/​entertain students with classic records from days gone by! Each HPB has a special selection of records, books, magazines, movies and I just can’t stop looking for the next great deal! 4 stars because it is great, but the bigger stores get all 5 stars!
